Topic: Empty Promises

I beg the forum's indulgence for opening a topic just for one song, one that is neither a Joe song nor a classic (yet).

BUT, I think (and I know of at least two others here who are with me) that this is such a MONSTER of a song, that I want to give it maximum exposure. I can't believe it's only had 1600+ hits because I reckon at least 100 of those are mine. big_smile

Re: Empty Promises

Now you're just trying to sweet talk me George. I LOVE this song. It's a great mix of tone..voice/guitar...and on the CD those double notes that hit me in the gut! Wait until you get the CD.....soon....C

His voice reminds me of Joe Louis Walker.

Yeah baby!!!

That song is as sweet as honeysuckle in full bloom on a Sunday morning.....

He had everyone's mouth hangin' open in Wheeling Friday night.....I'll go into more detail after I get some sleep and clear my head, but the Heritage Festival in Wheeling is a destination that any blues lover should consider for next year.....square biz.....
